"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth," he intones, quoting from the book of Romans.

For many of Trump's evangelical and Catholic supporters, his full-throated endorsement of the March for Life movement is the thing that makes his long, long history of personal peccadillos, divorces, affairs, ungodliness, lies, and sex scandals — never mind that he once identified as "pro-choice" — fade into the distant background.

As a canker or gangrene eats away the flesh, so does such teaching eat away Christian faith. Paul is careful to say, more than once, that the teaching which denies that there will be a resurrection of the dead leads inevitably to "ungodliness" and to "iniquity." Hymenaeus and Philetus may have believed in a nascent form of the Christian heresy of Gnosticism.

Contemporary Serbian sources, such as the hagiography of Saint Sava, are highly critical of Strez's actions. The Serbs accused Strez of recklessness, drunkenness, ungodliness, treason and cruelty. The hagiography of Saint Sava tells of Strez's alleged tendency to have captives thrown from a high cliff into the Vardar River for his and his guests' entertainment. As the prisoners were falling to their death, Strez would sarcastically shout at them not to get their coats wet.

They pervert the Scriptures by interpreting them to suit their own purposes (Prescription Against Heretics 17, cf. 4, 38).Tertullian notes that heretics frequently hang out with loose company, and that ungodliness is the natural effect of their teaching, since "they say that God is not to be feared; therefore all things are in their view free and unchecked" (Prescription against Heretics 43). Their teaching opposes the teaching "handed down from the apostles, the apostles from Christ, and Christ from God" (Prescription Against Heretics 37).

Finally, on September 30, 1992, fewer than 100 days after the investigation was made public, Warnke's ministry closed its doors.Jay Grelen. "Christian comedian set to close doors of troubled ministry", Lexington Herald-Leader (KY), September 30, 1992, page C13. In the spring of 1993, Warnke submitted to the authority of an assembly of ministers "acting as elders", acknowledging his "ungodliness", his "multiple divorces", his "failure as husband, father, and friend", and of "embellishment and exaggeration ... in an attempt ... to entertain", and offering to pay back taxes to the federal government.

He also held high military and civil offices. During the Rule of the Major- Generals he was appointed to command the London military district (with John Barkstead as his deputy, who was zealous in suppressing immorality and ungodliness in the area under Skippon's control), where his popularity was always highPhilip Skippon, Parliamentary General— but ceased to influence passing events. He said little in Parliament, though his comment on John Naylor ("If this be liberty, God deliver us from such liberty!"J. Vicars, English Worthies (1647, reprint 1845), pp.

According to the Jerusalem Talmud Goliath was born by polyspermy, and had about one hundred fathers.Jerusalem Talmud Yebamoth, 24b. The Talmud stresses Goliath's ungodliness: his taunts before the Israelites included the boast that it was he who had captured the Ark of the Covenant and brought it to the temple of Dagon; and his challenges to combat were made at morning and evening in order to disturb the Israelites in their prayers. His armour weighed 60 tons, according to rabbi Hanina; 120, according to rabbi Abba bar Kahana; and his sword, which became the sword of David, had marvellous powers.

This teaching of theirs, Paul tells us, had overthrown the faith of some. It would also overthrow Christian faith altogether, for if the dead are not raised, neither is Christ risen from the dead, and "ye are yet in your sins" The denial of the resurrection of the body, whether of mankind generally or of Christ, is the overthrow of the faith. It leaves nothing to cling to, no living Christ, who saves and leads and comforts His people. The apostle proceeds to say that teaching of this kind "eats as doth a gangrene," and that it increases unto more ungodliness.

Furlong 1975: 52 The garrison town also gave him opportunities to indulge in the sort of behaviour he would later confess to in Grace Abounding: "So that until I came to the state of Marriage, I was the very ringleader of all the Youth that kept me company, in all manner of vice and ungodliness".Brittain 1950: 89 Bunyan spent nearly three years in the army, leaving in 1647 to return to Elstow and his trade as a tinker. His father had remarried and had more children and Bunyan moved from Bunyan's End to a cottage in Elstow High Street.

Paul begins with a summary of Hellenistic Jewish apologist discourse.J. C. O'Neill, Paul's Letter to the Romans (Penguin, 1975); E. P. Sanders, Paul, the Law, and Jewish People (Fortress, 1983); Calvin Porter, 'Romans 1.18-32: Its Role in Developing the Argument (New Testament Studies, Cambridge University Press, 1994); Scot McKnight, Reading Romans Backwards: A Gospel of Peace in the Midst of Empire (Baylor, 2019) His summary begins by suggesting that humans have taken up ungodliness and wickedness for which there already is wrath from God. People have taken God's invisible image and made him into an idol. Paul draws heavily here from the Wisdom of Solomon.

Published in Language, volume 27, issue 3, pages 439-445. Quote: "an overwhelmingly high percentage of Chinese segmental morphemes (bound or free) consist of a single syllable; no more than perhaps five percent are longer than one syllable, and only a small handful are shorter. In this sense — in the sense of the favored canonical shape of morphemes — Chinese is indeed monosyllabic." and may be moot for Afro-Asiatic languages. In English orthography, the letter sequences "rock", "god", "write", "with", "the", "not" are considered to be single-morpheme words, whereas "rocks", "ungodliness", "typewriter", and "cannot" are words composed of two or more morphemes ("rock"+"s", "un"+"god"+"li"+"ness", "type"+"writ"+"er", and "can"+"not").

Townsend was frequently jailed for preaching and speaking publicly on behalf of the Quakers. Near-contemporary chronicles document her imprisonment in 1678, for preaching (at trial, she reportedly asked the judge 'Whether it was a Crime to direct People to turn from Ungodliness'); sometime in 1681; and at Gloucester Castle, then the county gaol, as of . In 1683, she was due to be released at a court of session but was swiftly recommitted when she refused to deliver the oath of allegiance. She was released from prison in April 1686 following a Declaration of Indulgence by James II. Townsend's husband Richard, a bodice- maker, was also frequently arrested for offences that included participation in Quaker meetings.

Hymenaeus and Philetus are included among persons whose profane and vain babblings will increase towards more ungodliness, and whose teaching "will spread as a cancer" ( NLT). The apostle declares that Hymenaeus and Philetus are examples of those just described, and he adds that those two persons "concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already, and overthrow the faith of some." Then, for the guidance of Timothy, he goes on to say the seal upon the foundation of God is, "The LORD knows those who are his,” and “All who belong to the LORD must turn away from evil" ( NLT). The inference intended is, that though Hymenaeus and Philetus had professed their faith in Christ, they did not turn away from evil.

Cecil Gutzmore at the University of the West Indies has written that religious fundamentalists believe that the Bible variously declares homosexuality to be an "abomination", a "vile affection", "unseemly", "not natural", or a "form of ungodliness". > Those who commit this great sin are thus unequivocally construed ... as > legitimate subjects to be punished by terminal violence, a fate not only > dealt out directly by God Himself but, presumably, also by those regarding > themselves as His faithful servants and the possible agents of His will. > These persons feel a kind of righteous justification for ... acting > violently on God's behalf against perceived homosexuals and homosexuality. > ... In Jamaica metaphorical stones enthusiastically and destructively cast > take the form of homophobic song lyrics, passionate sermons, and > parliamentary and party conference speeches that voice a refusal to > liberalize anti-homosexuality laws.

There is no doubt in regard to the identity of this Hymenaeus with the person of the same name in 1 Timothy. Accordingly, the facts mentioned in the two epistles must be placed in the following order: That though Hymenaeus had, #made a public and Christian profession of faith in Christ, yet he had, #not turned away from evil, but by his profane teaching (see below), #went towards more ungodliness. This led to, #his abandoning his faith and a good conscience, thus he brought about, #the end result of his faith being shipwrecked. The error, therefore, of Hymenaeus and his two companions would amount to this: They taught that "the resurrection is past already," circa 50AD–65AD, and that there would be no future resurrection, but that all that resurrection means is that the soul awakes from sin.

Promotion of personal doctrinal views that deviate from official teachings is also regarded as apostasy. The "identifying marks" of apostates are said to include attempts to gain followers, disregard for the Witnesses’ preaching activity, rejection of God's visible organization, public criticism of other Witnesses and attempts to hinder their work. Other identifying behavior is said to include deviation from the truth, twisted, empty speech, hypocrisy and involvement in deeper forms of ungodliness."Remain Solid in the Faith", The Watchtower, August 1, 1980, pages 17-21. Watch Tower Society literature says apostates are motivated by vitriolic bitterness and that their writings are poisonous, distorted and false, display the characteristics of "cunning, contrived error, prideful intelligence, lack of love and dishonesty" and are designed to undermine the faith of Jehovah’s Witnesses."At Which Table Are You Feeding", The Watchtower, July 1, 1994, pages 11-12.

"By His death on the cross and His resurrection from the dead, Christ undoubtedly led His spiritual Israel out of the bondage of sin and devil..." -The Mystery of Godliness and the Mystery of Ungodliness, pg 44. Because of this he tended to understand the Atonement as focusing less on obtaining a subjective state of divine forgiveness and more on the objective deliverance from a life of bondage to evil. Regarding the sacraments he expressed a view that is nearly identical to the ancient Eastern Orthodox understanding "...holy communion is Christ's body and blood in a mystery as it is imparted through the Spirit of Christ..." -Evidence pg 175. At a time when many Christians in the West were busily adapting the EnlightenmentThe Age of Enlightenment was a cultural movement of intellectuals in 18th-century Europe, that sought to mobilize the power of reason, in order to reform society and advance knowledge.
